They have a talking point.
After President Trump’s admission in a tweet that Russia helped get him elected — which he walked back minutes later — Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale minimized the remark as a mere “typo,” while simultaneously attacking The New York Times for writing about the President’s tweet.
The @nytimes clearly knows this is NOT TRUE. @realDonaldTrump stated unequivocally during his presser this is FALSE.
The editors at @nytimes want nothing more than to take one typo and have it redefine 10,000 on the record comments. Disgusting and unprofessional! pic.twitter.com/5udyvHvaLg

In an early morning Twitter rant about the Russia probe, Trump claimed he had “nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.” While speaking to reporters shortly after, Trump flip-flopped: “No, Russia did not get me elected. Do you know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn’t help me at all.”
Despite the supposed mistake, the tweet has not yet been deleted.
